A transmitter and a receiver for reducing power consumption in a frequency modulation-ultra-wideband (FM-UWB) communication system are provided. The transmitter includes a detector configured to generate a pulse signal when an edge of a digital signal is detected. The transmitter further includes a first modulator configured to modulate the digital signal into a first modulation signal based on a value of the digital signal. The transmitter further includes a second modulator configured to modulate the first modulation signal into a second modulation signal based on a frequency of the first modulation signal when the pulse signal is generated.
